I don’t think this topic is stressed enough online. Most of us don’t actually have any physical products we sell. We are basically affiliate marketers. Good affiliate marketers already know that the money is in the “pre-sale” not the actual sale. People buy based on recommendations that they get. You see this everyday, more than likely you purchased products already based on a recommendation.
Using your blog to review programs is a great way to presell also using services like squidoo and hubpages is another avenue to presell what you are doing. If you do a good job at reviewing a service or product that you use, it will be much easier to get that person to subscribe to your web form or purchase a product through your link.
I don’t think anyone actually likes a pushy salesman, but believe me people including myself love to buy stuff. Give honest reviews of why you like something.. If you like something chances are someone else will also.

Hey Willie, good to hear from ya! Ya man I get slammed with hundreds of emails daily…. They say there is a 95% failure rate online. I bet that one of the main reasons for that is people aren’t pre-selling they are trying to sell.
Hi Larry,
I made a great point. Preselling is important and it requires a complete different approach.
If you want to make money on the Internet you have to learn how to presell because people buy from those they know, trust and believe in.
